Waiting on Wednesday: Debutantes

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.  "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Debutantes by Cora Harrison
Pub. Date: August 2, 2012



Goodreads says, "It’s 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but stuck in an enormous crumbling house in the country, with no money and no fashionable dresses, the excitement seems a lifetime away. Luckily the girls each have a plan for escaping their humdrum country life: Rose wants to be a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy a famous film director. Violet, however, has only one ambition: to become the perfect Debutante, so that she can go to London and catch the eye of Prince George, the most eligible bachelor in the country. But a house as big and old as Beech Grove Manor hides many secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover one so huge it could ruin all their plans—ruin everything—forever."
*I've been really enjoyed historical reads lately and this one sounds really good. I also LOVED Cora Harrison's I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend, so I am excited to read this one.  What do you guys think?

  3. I'm a sucker for vintage London, so I have a feeling I would be all over this! It reminds me a bit of Anna Godbersen's Luxe series, which I read years ago -- though these are set in England, which definitely piques my interest.

  4. Oh, how pretty! I read a lot of historical, but not much historical YA. I really should read more, and this sounds like a lovely possibility. I love the 1920's! Great pick!
